Back room: I deliver courier to the entity

"Is that okay?"

"Of course!"

After receiving Li Xun's affirmative answer, Reis immediately poured the coffee in his cup and pushed the cup to the center of the table.

Li Xun did not directly pour the coffee in the thermos into the cup, but took out the raw materials from his backpack and brewed a small half cup himself.

Reis kept a close eye on the brewing process throughout the process, and was full of interest in the various items that Li Xun took out.

When the brewing was complete, Li Xun pushed the cup back in front of Reis.

Reis eagerly picked up the cup and carefully looked at the coffee in the cup.

But no difference was found.

He brought the cup to his lips, hesitated, but still took a sip.

"Gag—"

He put the cup back on the table in horror and began to bend over and vomit.

After a while, he straightened up again and asked,

"This... What is it?

"I call it Zhicha Coffee, how does it taste?"

"It's hard to say and unforgettable!"

Reis looked at the coffee on the table with a complicated expression, thinking back to the feeling of being like a maggot's mouth just now.

Suddenly, he found that the fatigue brought by the high-intensity work of the past few days had disappeared, and his spirit was much better.

"This is ... What does coffee do?

He looked up at Li Xun and asked.

"Yes, it also has more magical effects, and it takes a long time to drink it to experience slowly."

Li Xun knew that the effect of knowing the tea coffee had been felt by Leis, arousing his interest and curiosity.

"Can I exchange some ingredients for making this coffee?"

"Of course, but I don't need anything material."

Reis heard Li Xun's words and knew that the other party wanted him to exchange information for it.

After a moment of thought, he asked,

"What else do you want to know?"

He decided that as long as it did not involve some information that was too high a level of secrecy, he could properly take out some and exchange it for this magical item.

"How about taking me to see the entities you caught first?"

"Okay, Mr. Li, please over here."

Reis readily agreed and immediately got up to lead the way.

Li Xun followed him into the elevator again, this time directly pressing the "-9" button, which was also the last floor of the elevator.

After the elevator doors open, there is a huge space outside, without separation.

In the open space are several transparent glass houses, as well as some small glass containers.

Inside every glass chamber or terrarium, there is an entity in it.

Li Patrol glanced at it, there were 6 glass rooms, 2 glass containers, and 5 kinds of entities were held.

There are 4 species he knows: 1 Laughing Nightmare, 2 Skin Stealers, 2 Corpse Rats, and 2 Death Moths.

But there is a glass room filled with seawater, slightly cloudy, and it is impossible to see the entity inside that occasionally flashes a figure.

In front of each entity, there are two or three staff members, recording something, and occasionally doing some stimuli to the entity.

Or the light briefly illuminates the laughing nightmare, or feeds the skin-stealer meat, or the sound stimulates the death moth.

"These are all things we have caught one after another over the past thirty years, and the first ones we caught were the laughing monster and the skin stealer."

"We deduced that they must have attacked the Dr. Jameson family."

"Based on our years of research, as well as the oral accounts of some returnees from the back room, we have a basic understanding of the types and characteristics of these entities."

"However, this is only what we captured not long ago, and we can't find the corresponding information from the known entity data."

Reis led Li Patrol to the glass room filled with seawater and pointed to a constantly rotating image on the computer and said.

Li Xun looked at the computer, and the image was a mermaid-like creature, but it was not a mermaid.

It has human-like limbs and torso, but its head is a fish head.

Two large, slightly protruding eyes, no eyelids, and fish gills on the sides of the neck.

Both hands and feet are webbed, the skin is dark green, and the front looks a little shiny and slippery.

But on its back, elbows, and ankles, there are fins and scales.

"This kind of entity, I haven't seen it, was captured from the underwater city?"

"No, it was captured from nearby waters. The underwater city often disappeared occasionally and moved in small areas, and we suspected that the fishman did not have time to return before the city disappeared. Li

Xun walked around the table and came to the glass room, trying to see through the tempered glass to see the fish man inside.

He tried to look for a while, but he couldn't find the fishman in the turbid water.

Suddenly, a fish head suddenly appeared in front of him, causing him to throw his head back and take a step back.

"Hahaha, it does this often, and our researchers have been scared by it many times."

Reis's laughter came from the side, and he walked to Li Xun's side and looked at the fish man who was clinging to the glass and his mouth was opening and closing.

"What is it doing?"

Li Xun looked at the appearance of the fish man and felt that it should be saying something.

"Singing, a song that can charm the mind."

"When it was first discovered, it was confusing our maritime patrol squad with such a song, and the members of the squad, under the influence of the song, jumped into the sea and swam towards it."

"If the other patrol members hadn't arrived in time, maybe those unlucky bastards who jumped into the sea would have gone to see God."

"This glass room is specially made to isolate the sound from inside."

Reis was holding a tablet with software on it, showing a constantly changing sonic map, presumably recording the fishman's song.

"We've been trying to analyze its singing, but so far we haven't made much progress."

Li Xun nodded, did not speak, but looked at the fish man, while constantly connecting some information in his mind.

Here Dr. Jameson cuts into the back room, and here the entity in the back room appears.

This shows that there is a two-way entry point here!

I learned from Alyssa that the island is called Pohnpei Island.

It's an interesting island.

In the Cthulhu mythological system, the old ruler of Cthulhu, sleeps in the city of Lalaye.

The specific coordinates of the city of Lalaye are given in Lovecraft's novel, 47°9′ south latitude, 126°43′ west longitude.

Near this area, there is a real island, Pohnpei Island!

Cthulhu has a family, the Deep Divers.

And this fishman locked in an aquarium is very similar to the deep diver depicted in the novel!

It's just that the deep diver's voice is hoarse and sharp, and the singing is definitely not easy to hear.

Combined with the huge octopus tentacles he saw before at the level α level, it was hard not to let him guess whether that underwater city was Lalaye City!

[Originally, I was thinking about whether I could cut back to the back room through the underwater city, but now it seems that I still forget it.] 【When

it comes to creatures in the Cthulhu Mythos, some dangers.】 After

opening and closing the fishman's mouth for a while, it is estimated that he was tired of singing and disappeared into the turbid sea again.

"Dr. Reis, let's go back and talk about the deal specifically."
